The course application codes and study periods are valid for the academic year 2025/2026. For other academic years, different application codes and study periods may apply

General Courses

The programme consists of compulsory courses, two groups of conditionally elective courses (where a number of hp must be read from each group), a degree project and completely optional courses.

  • Mandatory courses. All mandatory courses must be read for a degree. 
  • Conditionally elective courses in Electric Power and Energy Systems. At least 22,5 credits must be read for the degree. It is free to read the courses year 1, or year 2, if the course's special eligibility requirements are met.
  • Conditionally optional project courses (VVP). Of these, at least 7.5 credits must be studied for a degree. It is free to read the courses either in year 1, or year 2, if the course's specific prerequisites are met.
  • Elective courses. All courses at KTH that do not overlap with other courses in the program. The following courses may be of particular interest to students in electrical engineering:                  EP2120 Internetworking
